These guys have OSS drivers, phenomenal specs and professional capabilities.
You can get a Delta 44 for $260.oo {midi/24/96} at marsmusic.com, Audiophile
cards for a bit less.
I think your best bets are to scan:
http://www.marsmusic.com
http://www.musiciansfriend.com
http://sweetwater.com/
and compare them to the charts at OSS and Alsa. Lots of good high quality
cards are supported. Lots of folk are starting to put out their own drivers.
